Losing history after editing in Photoshop and returning to Lightroom

  • July 21, 2022

When I export a photo from Lightroom CC to Photoshop, I check the box "edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments.  When I finish my edits in Photoshop, I "save" and close Photoshop.  When I get back to LR, my edits are obviously there, but all the sliders have been reset to 0 and "history" is gone.  All it shows is "edited in Photoshop with the date and time.

    To see any History you must be using Lightroom-Classic (or the old perpetual Lightroom).

    What you experience is to be expected and normal.

    The file created by 'Edit in Photoshop' is a new file- it doesn't have history, yet, until you do more edits to the new file in LrC.

    (The original source file will still retain its history.)

     

    Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

      I'm sorry.  I said CC, but I am using Lightroom Classic and have been all along.  I have the monthly subscription with Creative Cloud and have the most recent updates. I didn't have this problem until a couple of month ago.

      I think you remember that incorrectly. @Rob_Cullen is right. Because the file that is returned from Photoshop is a new image, it will not have the history of the old image. The Lightroom edits of the old image have been 'baked into the pixels' of the new image. They cannot be changed via history anymore. This is logical and has been this way since day one.
